There are many kinds of insects in Laos. Some are extremely useful, but others are usually considered as pests that need to be controlled.
ANT DISINSECTION
Ant control service is provided with an insecticide bait gel that is odorless and harmless for humans & pets. The active matter is a natural toxin called spinosad. We will apply it close to each connection with the outside.
The ants will consume the product that is attractive to them (sweet) and they will return to the colony. Then they will regurgitate it to the other ants to feed them. This phenomenon is called trophallaxis. Indeed, they will be poisoning the other ants, including the queen(s). The ultimate objective is to eradicate the whole colony by killing the queen.
This treatment is valid for any type of ants except the large red ants (weaver ants) where mechanical treatment should be applied.
COCKROACH DISINSECTION
Cockroach disinsection service is provided with an insecticide bait gel that is odorless and harmless for humans & pets. The product will be applied during treatment in every wet room (kitchen, bathrooms/toilets) and every area liable to be infested.
To treat cockroaches in sewage traps, we spray micro-encapsulated insecticides that remain active for more than one month. To reduce the risk of insecticide resistance, we respect a regular rotation of active matter used.
To treat German cockroach infestations, we can also use eco-certified silicon surfactant even in kitchen as it is safe to use.
During the rainy season in Laos, tiger mosquitoes are a major public health issue since they are dengue’s main vector. In the dry season, Culex mosquitoes develop in the standing water of the drainage system that is not flushed out until they become millions.
Therefore, our mosquito control is provided in up to 3 services to control the population at all steps of development:
1. Treatment of water source (water ponds and gutters) with an organic larvicide or guppy fish.
2. Use mosquito traps from Biogents
that attract and catch mosquitoes with CO2 and a lure.
3. If needed, we can do punctual treatment by spraying eco-certified silicon surfactant on the vegetation, and potential nets if it falls outside the area covered by the mosquito trap.
The objective is to provide the most efficient treatment 24/7, with the most limited impact on the environment or no impact at all.
We never use thermal foggers. Indeed, these devices generate a toxic fog that is hazardous for users, clients, and nature.
BEDBUGS ERADICATION
We avoid using insecticides against bed bugs since most bedbug stains have become resistant to insecticides.
Instead of chemical treatments, we use professional vacuum cleaning, hot steam water, and diatomaceous earth in the treatment against bed bugs. In addition, to avoid newly hatched eggs becoming adults, we use some remnant insect growth regulators that are still chemical, but much less toxic than insecticides.
TERMITE CONTROL
To exterminate termite colonies, we will install termite bait stations in connection with the colony. Afterward, termites will eat it and share it with the other termites. There is an insect growth regulator (low toxicity) and/or fungi with the bait and that will kill all the termites in a couple of weeks. When termite workers start eating the bait, they stop eating the other wood parts as our baits are of much higher palatability for them.
As it is impossible to estimate the size of the colony, the exact number of refills is unknown in advance. The whole process typically lasts 6 to 8 weeks.
